Good question...
At my pre op physio chat...my toe to knee height was measured as 17 5 inches...and was advised to have bed height plus or minus 10% of that height. In fact bed is 16.5 inches high...so no blocks needed.
Hope this helps

Bed height is not that bad a problem you will probably need help to
swing your legs around when you first get home as your leg needs to be
kept straight due to the pain you may feel with your new hip but don't
worry it is not that bad and will not last long.
So all will be ok.
All the best and look forward to talking to you after the hip hop sounds like a dance.

I call mine operated and not operated, rather than good and bad....cos hips are not naughty.
